  1. The 6 lug conversion is easier than the 5 lug. To go with 6 lug you just need to re-drill the hubs. You can also buy them ready to go if you aren't comfortable doing it yourself. Scott at sjrlift.com has them. To go with 5 lug is much more difficult. You would need to find XT6 4WD rear hubs which are expensive and next to impossible to get these days. This site has lots of information on both conversions.
  2. Awesome car! I have a 1983 GL 4WD Wagon too!
  3. And your clock even works
  4. I really enjoyed the repair video, do you have any more? There is NO WAY I am going up in one of those kites though
  5. I have been using a cordless drill alternating directions and going very slowly for 20 years now and it work great. You just chuck up the valve on the back side after removing the spring. Make sure you don't use too much lapping compound as you don't want to get any of it in the guides. Is there some bad reason why everyone doesn't do this?
  6. You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave! Happy New Year!
  7. It really depends, like 3Pin says we need more information. For example I have a '93 EJ22E in both my 1983 GL 4WD Wagon and my '92 Loyale Wagon.
  8. I would like to see some more info on some of these - like the EG33 Impreza. Are there any pictures or write-ups?
  9. The solenoids I grabbed that work were off a 1992 Toyota Paseo
  10. How does the axle length work out? Are you making up some axles using EA82 inner and Legacy outer joints?
  11. I can use the rear shoes for an E-Brake when I get around to installing them. I just haven't been motivated to do it yet since the front e-brake still works awesome.
  12. What I did was to re-drill a legacy backing plate to fit the EA82 trailing arm. This let me use legacy rear rotors and calipers. I still had to use XT6 hubs though. Like this; Loyale <--> Legacy Rear Brakes 01 Loyale <--> Legacy Rear Brakes 02 Loyale <--> Legacy Rear Brakes 03
  13. I went the XT6 route and although it took a while and cost a bit it was worth it. Since then someone started making re-production XT6 hubs. How is it going with your project? Do you have the hub and axle adapted yet?
  14. Nice car! I have an '88 with the same wheels. I have 185/70R14 tires on it and they don't rub at all. No lift either, all stock.
